I notice that a few days ago Jacob Rees-Mogg opined: “In the next few years we may face a war. And if we face a war, we will need people who will join the armed services and who will go out and do their duty…people have to die to save their country as they did in the First and Second World Wars.” (my italics).
This lot never give up. I am convinced our political class actively wants a war with Russia. I expect it is pencilled in for around 2027.
It makes me think of the scene in “Duck Soup”, where a diplomat says he is willing to do anything to prevent the war and the great Groucho Marx replies “It’s too late. I’ve already paid a month’s rent on the battlefield.”
Anyway, Rees Mogg’s eldest son is now 19, so I assume he will be answering the call and getting measured up for his uniform and tin hat when the time comes.
